In The Mean Time...

Hey, wondering where we went? No worries, we are just changing format and conducting some testing before we flip the switch. For now, you can get all of our new stuff by clicking here..We aren't quite ready to switch quite yet, but the end result will be a continuous flow of dark and often day-wrecking content from our regular authors as well as other members. It's a work in progress and we are still working on some design and function stuff, but the updated content is now coming through.

TEXARCANA, AK – An Arkansas couple were arrested after a neglected dog led police to a home with several decaying dog carcasses inside.

Magan Terry, 29, and Brandon Woody, 38, take animal neglect to new heights with that Southern Gothic “bodies decaying gracefully about the house” flava.

Hell, their unique way with animals led police right to their door.

On July 9th, Texarkana animal control officers were alerted to a stray white male pit bull on city property. When they responded, they found the dog in question, which was emaciated and so infested with fleas that “its back appeared to be black and the fleas appeared to move in waves across its body.”

When officers investigated the nearby residential area, they noted a rotting raccoon carcass in the suspects’ driveway. They are apparently quite familiar with Terry and Woody, having fielded multiple calls regarding the residence, both because of dead wildlife on the property and animal neglect.

Finding the front door standing wide open, officers decided to investigate further. They made it as far as the front porch before being covered in fleas.…

EMERSON, NE – A Nebraska couple have pleaded not guilty to charges they deprived their two teenage boys from food and showers.

The Busker’s kids are hungry. And stinky.

Why? Because the Buskers are assholes. Cheap assholes.

On Wednesday August 8th, Blaine Busker, 41, and Donella Busker, 38, of Emerson, Nebraska, were arrested for the mistreatment of two teenaged boys that were under their care.

Local media reports refer to the boys as their “sons,” but the story linked above notes that the Buskers had received a total of $5,475 from the state of Nebraska “from February through June to care for the children,” and the duration of the abuse was specified as being from January 1st through June 18th, so it looks like the boys are actually foster children.

Which doesn’t excuse the starvation, privation and abuse that they had to endure.

Even with all that money coming in, the Buskers begrudged the two (presumably) growing boys proper nutrition, so much so that they kept the refrigerator and kitchen cupboards padlocked to prevent any surreptitious snacking.…

HERE, NOW – Thanks to everyone who showed up to episode 16 of the Pulpit of Doom Livestream Saturday night – we had a good time.

It only took a total of sixteen episodes, but we finally had a livestream that went off with absolutely no technical difficulties. Yes, we were as surprised as everyone else.

For those of you who may not know, the Pulpit of Doom Livestream is our live, unedited podcast in which we talk about the top 10 articles on the site for the week, as well as anything else that pops into our heads.

Pagan was unable to join us Saturday night as he couldn’t decide what dress to wear, but myself, Jaded and Old Man Metal discussed a myriad of different topics.

These included beating people with kitchen utensils, beating kids to death with dresser drawers, pretending to have Down Syndrome to get your genitals handled, being stabbed to death in a random attack at an intersection, and much, much more.

WASHINGTON, DC – One week after getting engaged, a 35-year-old woman was stabbed to death in a random attack at a Washington, DC intersection.

The incident happened Tuesday evening as Wendy Martinez, an avid runner, was out for her routine jog. Just before 8 p.m. Martinez was attacked by an unknown male with a knife at 11th and O streets, Northwest.

Bleeding profusely from her neck, Martinez managed to stumble into a nearby Chinese restaurant for help. Surveillance footage shows her running inside the restaurant and seemed to be trying to alert customers about her attacker outside.

Some of the patrons ran out while others tried tending to the woman’s wounds until paramedics arrived. Unfortunately nothing could be done to save her and she would die from her injuries.

Authorities are now asking for the public’s help in identifying the man they say is responsible, described as a black male wearing a mustard-colored shirt, dark-colored pants, white socks and sandals.

He fled heading southbound on the 1400 block of 11th Street, NW, after attacking Martinez.…

NORWELL, MA – A 48-year-old father has been put back in jail after a second child came forward and accused the former youth football coach of raping them.

This hasn’t been a good year for Derek Sheehan. The alleged pedophile and child rapist was arrested in August after a child younger than 14 reported that the man had indecently assaulted them in August 2017.

Police searched Sheehan’s house and took away multiple electronic devices, including Sheehan’s iPhone and an external hard drive.

Sheehan was arrested and initially charged with indecent assault and battery on a child under 14 and intimidating a witness. He pleaded not guilty and was released after paying his bail and ordered to wear a GPS-monitoring device until his next court appearance.

But four days later Sheehan found himself back before a judge after a man came to the Norwell police station to report that his 13-year-old son had been sexually assaulted by Sheehan.

By this time investigators found that Sheehan’s iPhone contained multiple pornographic images of children, including some in which they appeared to be sleeping.…

AIMES, IA – Police have accused a 22-year-old homeless man of murdering an Iowa State University student whose body was found in a golf course pond.

On Monday morning police were called to Coldwater Golf Links after some golfers discovered an abandoned golf bag.

A short time later, police would find the body of a female in a pond at the golf course. She was identified as 22-year-old Celia Barquin Arozamena, a student at Iowa State University and Iowa State Female Athlete of the year.

While on the scene, investigators were approached by a man walking on a nearby trail who asked, “what did he do to her?”

When asked to clarify, the man told police that he had been staying with a man in a nearby homeless camp who had been expressing a desire to “rape and kill a woman.”

Police went to the homeless camp and found the man, identified as 22-year-old Collin Daniel Richards, and noticed he had several fresh scratches on his face and that he was trying to conceal a gash on one of his hands.…

ST PETER, MN – A couple in Minnesota have been arrested after they allegedly abandoned a 5-year-old boy in the woods as punishment for wetting himself.

Regular readers of the Demon know that there are all sorts of ways to deal with incontinent children, many of which are not recommended by Dr. Spock, or local authorities.

Torture, dehydration and even death have been the result of innocent enuresis at the hands of some of our Featured Parents.

Some people, though, prefer the road less traveled. These are the pioneers that settled the Wild Wild West, the astronauts that took us to the moon, and the contrarian crapbags that find new and creative ways to degrade and abuse their fellow human beings.

Meet Gregory Wilson, 32, and Lynda Michel, 42. When their five-year-old son accidentally pissed himself, they thumbed their noses at criminal convention and got all Hansel-and-Gretel on the kid.

On August 28th, a passing motorist spotted a young boy crying and walking in the pouring rain along the side of Highway 169 south of St.…

ST ALBANS, WV – Police have arrested a man after he huffed spray paint then beat his mother over the head with a spatula.

Glenn Allen Casdorph loves paint. His mother? Maybe not so much.

About 10:45 PM last Thursday, September 13th, police in St. Albans, West Virginia were dispatched to a residence in reference to a domestic incident involving injuries.

That’s cop-speak for “Glenn’s up to his old tricks again.”

When they arrived, officers found Glenn Allen Casdorph, 30, AKA “Casdorph the Destroyer,” AKA “Squirrel,” sitting on a bench in the front yard, brandishing a steel bar and besmeared with copious amounts of silver spray-paint.

It is a well-known fact to connoisseurs of spray paint that the silver and gold varietals have both the best bouquet and the best buzz. And Casdorph the Destroyer is no novice when it comes to huffing paint.

Having dealt with Casdorph multiple times in relation to his predilection for solvent abuse, his condition was probably not surprising to responding officers. And given his history of responding violently to anyone who attempted to curtail his illicit love of fluorocarbons, what they found in the house probably didn’t surprise them either.…

LAKE CITY, FL – An inmate at Columbia Correctional Institution murdered his cellmate, gouged out his eyes, then strolled to breakfast with the victim’s ear on a necklace.

The incident happened early Thursday inside a cell being shared by 58-year-old Larry Mark and another man who has not been identified.

Mark was reportedly aggravating his cellmate to the point that his cellmate strangled him to death. But the cellmate wasn’t done.

After killing Mark, the man gouged out Mark’s eyeballs and placed them in a cup. He reportedly told other inmates he planned to eat them later.

Mark’s body was not discovered until after his killer showed up for breakfast with other inmates and began showing off Mark’s ear that he had fashioned into a stylish necklace.

Unconfirmed reports state Mark’s killer had recently been transferred to Columbia from Florida State Prison where he had been on Death Row.

Obviously, I don’t know Mark so I can’t comment on his character or if he deserved the death he got. However, he was serving a life sentence for beating a cab driver’s skull in for $35 and a wedding ring.…
